LATEST FEMININE CRAZE.

The latest feminine craze (says a i,oudou correspondent to an American' exchange) is to sit cross-legged on the floor and eat dinner with the fingers. An Indian philosopher has introduced the idea, explaining that the tips of the fingers contain the soul iorces, and convey these directly into the lood, and thence into the systems of the diners. The women are loosely clothed in white Kashmir garments, and they wear sandals on bare feet. Their hair hangs loose down their backs. The chief meal is taken at midday, and is supposed to consist of vegetables only—vegetables which grow above the ground, such as rice and lettuce, being preferred. The difficulty of scraping up a sufficient meal of rice or peas with the fiinger tips does not appear to deter the enthusiastic spirits, though the faint-hearted can always fall back on Indian corn, which may be comiortably grabbed in the hand. More than one duchess has been seen eating corn in this primitive fashion lately, and even impassive family servants are showing surprise at these uevyest developments of ‘aristocratic uuconveutiouality.
